It was part of the original fake intro, which reminds me of the Beatles' "Taxman." Also, the underwater-sounding vocals bring to mind two other Beatles songs, "Yellow Submarine" and "Octopus's Garden." Some of the lyrics, too, are Beatlesque somewhat: for example, the reggae song bit, is just as nonsensical as the lyrics in such other Beatles songs as "I Am the Walrus" ("Goo goo g'joob") and "Sun King" (the faux-Spanish/Italian lyrics).
@@corneliuscrewe677 What? They left that out sometimes? Thank god I didn't know that back then... That would indeed sink the full performance of this quite a bit.
Got to chat with Kim after the Pixies 89 Doolittle show at Norwich UEA. She had so much fun chatting with us while signing tickets etc. Frank, Joey & Dave just hid in their dressing room. Have always loved Kim for making the extra time & effort
@@andrewphippsphillips1455, that is so cool! It is always nice to hear about down to earth musicians who take time for people. I had a similar experience talking to two of the women from Stereolab years ago, they were kind as could be after the show and stayed to chat.
I am blown away...I came here curious, wondering how many shortcuts they would have to take to play this live. After listening to this album version for my entire life, I had to know how know what the live version sounded like. The song sounds like it's got such weird production and so many effects, I had low expectations. After watching this, I am not disappointed - I can't believe how accurate they play it live. It's incredible. This is gd incredible.
It depends on Josephine’s performance. She always looks anxious especially at the beginning of a song. Jim started at odd time signature and she has to sync her bassline with his drumming.
Still a smoking hot song after all these decades, it sounds as fresh and great today as it did then. When this album came out I put it on Heavy rotation for months, it was a good time for a lot of bands and new music, and I'd enjoyed the Pixies in the 80's so this was a nice transition. The Deal sisters are the real deal!
shwerd up brother next thing I know Bill Clintons gonna die and then all my nineties nostalgia will go with him. Also the shadow masters will move on from their previous creditor and come for me which definitely means I gotta off myself since I don't nearly have the resource he had to fend off the shadow masters for as long as he has.
@Louisa I was having a conversation with a friend at work about some of the most annoying songs we know. For the 80's, I had "Pass The Duchie," "Fascination," and "I Know What Boys Like." For the 90's, this song was the first to come to mind.
@@CharlesNotBronson I was browsing through the comments while showing a co-worker this terrible song. I saw someone state that it's impossible to dislike it, so I added my 2c.
One of my favorite songs ever! I blew out my parents 6’ tall Marten Logan solo II speakers while mowing the lawn to this song on repeat in the early 1990’s ..I love The Breeders!! Seen the Pixies, The Amps, but sadly enough never the Deal sisters together. Keep on rocking!! I love it!!!
Just jumped from the original to this, then back, then back again, two beautiful women both then and now still with that glint in their eyes and as for the song .... timeless.
Really normal for Breeders to play their songs properly! Gosh you guys haven't you ever seen them live? This is it and a whole heap more on sound. Canonball always has the whistle live. This is how they sound! And they were amazing in 2018 and well beyond this song. Nothing new going on here with sounds! Such a great band live!
Thundard Kim Deal doesn't get enough credit for being the Rock & Roll pioneer that she was. Her sound was so unique. She also took a ton of risk with her music. Pixies and Breeders ... that's an amazing accomplishment.
@@damo220 bbc studios really know wtf they're doing to be fair. The audio on these live performances is always top too, got some great engineers to rig up that many bands for one show and have them all coming through so well
@@Muzikman127 Your reply made me watch it again.. I did spot a little mistake at 2:23 when the operator trips over the amp.. We can let him off though 🤣
A sorely underrated album of the 90's. I listened to this one just as much as any of the coveted top sellers at the time, and I still do. It covered a lot more sonic territory to keep it from droning on, and remains one of my favorites today.
I couldn't agree more. Last Splash is weirdly brilliant album and had a huge influence on how I personally perceive music (I was in my early teens when it came out).
My parents didn't really have a lot of money, and I never asked them for anything outside of birthdays and Xmas, but I asked my dad if he could buy this for me on cassette tape and he agreed. I played that tape until it snapped. Incredible album.
Back in the 1990s, a friend of mine lent me a video tape he had recorded of some TV show I wanted to watch. But VCRs being rather scarce at the time, there was some footage on the tape his brother had recorded of MTV, who was into alternative rock in a really big way. What I am trying to say is there was a recording of this song on that tape, and it kind of enchanted me the very moment I discovered it. And the part of me that got enchanted by that song is very happy right now to find out this song is just as good today.
Dang, doesn't it feel just like yesterday? Just look at them, aged well, might be got into their 50s now. They were so young back then, so grungy, but they keep kicking ass after all.
Kelly is looking a little gaunt after 25 years. Not to be unkind but that girl liked to kick the gong around. Kelly and Kimmy still look like kewpie dolls, Dorian Gray effect or no.
It never occurred to me that Josephine played that riff on the E string. I've never seen them play this live, before. They are one of those bands that I just never got around to seeing back in the day.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fxvkI9MTQw4.html She used to use the A I believe. Much lower sounding using that E, I like to play it on the A personally
may I drove from Boston to Montreal once and ordered a big mac at the first McDonald's, everyone gave me a funny look as everyone was poxy french. Cheers
I was just saying that to my wife about another song. A damn quarter century, back in '93, seemed like a sprawling time period. Now, it seems like a quick tomorrow.
It's funny when time moves on. And you lose the context of the moment. The pixies dropped Doolittle. And then after that the breeders dropped pod. When that first breeders album came out everybody's mom was blown. That was the coolest thing ever. I haven't seen anything happen like that in a long time.
They are So Cool,and Courageous! i luckily caught them last Year in LA!🙌🏼i seriously believe without Her Amazingly hypnotic Bass lines and Haunting Backing Vocals 👌🏽Pixies wouldn’t have been the Pixies🤷🏾♂️ 🧚♀️💛🙏🏽🕉🙋🏽♂️
